Technology Focus Day, January 24th, 2010

8:00 Technology Focus Day Technology Focus Day Join the technology innovation day to get new ideas for effectively exploiting technology and technological solutions in the GIS capabilities. Case study presentations from defence and national security organisations and live demonstrations of effective technologies and solutions will form the basis for the day. Top technology and solutions providers will show you how they can overcome the challenges of achieving full situational awareness, cross-border interoperability and truly effective use of Geographic Information Systems both in-theatre and in day-to-day operations. Come to this event, together with your architecture team, to find out what is possible in GIS, and how you can use these new solutions in your own organisation.
